[hcflinux] Re: More hcfpciserial segmentation faults

[Kevin Ross]

Attached is my patch.  It basically just stubs out the OsRenameFile call, 
which I'm sure is not the proper fix, but it seems to work on my setup 
without any problems.

Also, I'm using version 0.99mbsibeta02123100.  There are newer versions 
available, which might fix the problem.  I haven't tried them, because I 
have since switched to DSL.

Hope this helps!
